BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - NBC entertainment chairman, Bob Greenblatt, had two words Thursday on whether Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump would ever return as host of "The Celebrity Apprentice:" Absolutely not.
Greenblatt said that the show will not be back next season, but will return in the future with a new host.
NBC cut ties with Trump in June days after he made critical comments about Mexican immigrants and NBC canceled its airing of the Miss USA pageant, which Univision also decided not to air.
Greenblatt said he enjoyed working with Trump when the network was still in business with him.

and really quit because they were screwing up.
If Trump didn't believe his own bullshit, he'd never get away with half of it.

Since he's running for president, how would he have time to do a TV show?
Unless... getting fired meant that NBC had to pay out his contract.
